Yesterday Mr Cameron's spokesman blamed the "severe weather " for the delays. Today he said ninety minutes was too long for anyone to be kept waiting:

"Clearly whether they are holidaymakers or business people visiting the UK, these people do not want to queue for a long time.

We understand their frustrations. We want to do everything we can to deal with those problems."
